Analysis of the New Method for Assessing the Total Network Capacity of Wireless Mesh Networks for IoT Devices

Abstract

Measuring and computing the total network capacity (TNC) is a task that sounds simple, but in reality, it can be a remarkably challenging and quite complex problem. This paper gives a quick performance method evaluating the TNC in multi-hop wireless mesh networks (WMN). It focuses simultaneously on two key operating metrics the total Internet protocol (IP) network capacity (TIPNC) and the total application network capacity (TANC) versus the average message time (AMS) and Average hops per path to a remote. It also analyzes how basic settings such as forward error correction (FEC) and acknowledgments (ACK) affect the overall network capacity (NC) under different operating conditions. The experimental results obtained from the proposed method gave a quick and easy idea of the possible capacity in the WMNs for the Internet of things (IoT) devices as well as the advantages of measuring and computing the TNC method over conventional methods. Both calculating and measuring comparisons show that the technique performs with different rates of success in various settings. Besides, these results can be useful, principally, during the conception of a WMN.
